Hurricanes Fans’ Fear of Small or No Deadline Move a Possibility
March 1, 2024 by Zach Martin
As the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline quickly approaches on March 8, the trade stove is warming up around the league. Rumors will start flying with different levels of shake-ups for franchises, which can make things interesting coming into the final stretch of the regular season. For the Carolina Hurricanes, it’s that time of year when people around the league and fans question what the team will do before or on deadline day. The Hurricanes over the last couple of seasons have been known to be a team that does not go for splash rental moves around this time of year. They’re more so known to make their bigger moves in the offseason, Brent Burns in the summer of 2022 and Michael Bunting along with Dmitry Orlov in 2023 come to mind. Going back to this team during the 2022-23 season saw Carolina adding Shayne Gostisbehere from the Arizona Coyotes for a 2026 third-round pick and Jesse Puljujarvi for Patrick Puistola.
2 Left Wing Trade Targets for the Hurricanes
March 3, 2024 by Zach Martin
It is officially trade deadline week in the NHL as there are now five days before the deadline on Friday, March 8. Trades could ramp up over the coming days, some blockbusters while some could be depth moves. There will be a spectrum of teams: sellers, buyers, or even those who could stay quiet while making smaller moves. That being said, the Carolina Hurricanes could be seen as one of those teams who could make smaller moves before or at the trade deadline. For fans, that is a plan that they might not want to hear and one that could put doubt in their minds as the playoffs approach.
Ron Francis’ 5 Best & Worst Moves as Hurricanes General Manager
The Hockey Writers Archives
Francis, the fifth all-time points leader in the NHL with 1,798 in 1,731 games played, became the director of hockey operations for the Carolina Hurricanes, his former club, in June 2011. He would later assume the role of General Manager in 2014.
Francis operated as Carolina’s GM from April 28, 2014, to March 7, 2018. He was ultimately relieved of his duties after a tumultuous four seasons. In his duration, Francis’s moves managed to assist in setting up the team for its current success, but also managed to stifle the franchise.
